Chapter 22: farewell

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 692

I bid farewell to what could've been,

to what can't be any longer.

a goodbye I did not once regret,

the things I couldn't ever forget.

I bid farewell to what we've been before,

to what we can't be anymore.

this is nothing more than a

"till life do us part"

the moral of a story,

the knife to my heart.

a hard truth:

there's no redemption for abuse.

so I bid farewell to who I could've been with you,

to who I don't wanna be anymore.

a sequel to the last poem - a farewell to toxicity, but more than that a hello to what's to come after.

annotation:

there's this song by Palace called "So Long Forever" which was kind of an inspiration for this poem too (such a good band!)
